I am making two assumptions from your post: You have a modified VW 2.2 engine, not a Subaru 2.2 That you used smoke to test for vacuum leaks around where the injectors go into the intake If the above is true... I think that the most likely cause for a flooded condition when restarting would be a leaking injector dribbling fuel into the intake until the pressure in the fuel system drops. I would test for this by pulling each pair of injectors out of the intake without disconnecting the hoses or wires and using a container to catch any drips, pressurize the system by turning the key a couple of times. If your injectors pass the above test, I would then check the resistance of temperature sensor 2 at various temperatures. And of course "check your grounds" :-) Good luck, Larry A.
